A mobile terminal includes a middle frame, a battery cover, and a display. A first groove and a second groove are provided on each of a left-side wall and a right-side wall of the middle frame, and the first groove and the second groove share a part of the side wall. The display is disposed in one of the first grooves, and the battery cover is disposed in one of the second grooves. The display includes an obverse-side display area and two arc-shaped display areas located on two sides of the obverse-side display area, indent surfaces of the two arc-shaped display areas are disposed opposite to each other, and a vertical distance between end portions of the two arc-shaped display areas that are away from the obverse-side display area is less than a maximum vertical distance between the two arc-shaped display areas.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a terminal control method and apparatus, and a terminal. The method includes: when a screen of a terminal is switched from a screen-on state to a screen-off state, detecting whether an enabling condition of a power saving mode is satisfied; and if the enabling condition of the power saving mode is satisfied, performing a power saving operation, where the power saving operation is used to reduce power consumption that occurs when an application program in the terminal runs in a background. In the embodiments of the present invention, power consumption in a screen-off state is reduced as much as possible without affecting normal use of a user.

A method for adjusting an openable angle of display screens, and a multi-screen terminal. The method includes: detecting, by a multi-screen terminal, an intensity of ambient light and a corresponding light incident angle of each display screen, and obtaining a currently used display screen as well as a viewpoint angle between the currently used display screen and a user; judging, by the multi-screen terminal, whether the intensity of ambient light corresponding to a light incident angle having the smallest difference with the viewpoint angle is greater than a preset value, and adjusting, under the condition that the viewpoint angle is greater than the preset value, an openable angle between the display screens until the multi-screen terminal judges that the intensity of ambient light corresponding to the light incident angle that is closest to the current viewpoint angle is less than or equal to the preset value.

Described is an apparatus comprising a first interface, a second interface, a third interface, and an interconnection fabric. The first interface may transfer a first stream of data traffic. The second interface, which may be an enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (eSPI) interface, may transfer a second stream of data traffic and a third stream of data traffic. The third interface may transfer a fourth stream of data traffic. The interconnection fabric may couple the first interface to the second interface and may couple the second interface to the third interface. The second interface may initiate a transfer of an outbound data stream from one of the second stream of data traffic or the third stream of data traffic based on an available-space credit indicator. The second interface may receive an inbound data stream based upon the outbound data stream.

A portable terminal 1 having a battery 11 obtains a congestion level indicating people-related congestion in a range including a point where a specific function of the portable terminal 1 is expected to be executed. Based on the congestion level, the portable terminal 1 performs a reduction process for reducing power consumption of the battery 11 before arriving at the above point, where the specific function is expected to be executed.

Power supply unit supplies power to components of smartphone. Communication unit communicates with an external device. Touch-screen unit displays an image and receives a touch operation. Control unit causes smartphone to operate in an operation mode. For example, control unit causes smartphone to operate in a first sleep mode in which power supply unit supplies power to communication unit, and power supply unit refrains from supplying power to touch-screen unit while touch-screen unit maintains a displayed image.
